Dropped Connection to Network Problem

my phone will drop connection and then not reconnect. no voice, no data. (wifi still works)
what I've tried:
1. Different radios/firmware
2. different roms
3. different preferred network types
4. switching airplane mode on and off
what I haven't tried:
1. different sim
2. calling tmobile for suggestions
What else could cause this problem?

it could be a hardware issue

Hello,
I have the same issue than you !
I am facing issues such as call drop and no 3G data connection in some area in my region since I have 5 signal bar and H letter displayed (HSDPA connection)...
I have found a workaround consisting in:
1 - Switching to GSM Only mode (2G Only)
2 - Desabling Mobile Data Connection
Then it works, I can pass and receive voice call ...
Regards,
Nino

I'm new to the Sensation and having the exact same issue.
Followed the stickies in the Dev section to S-OFF, root and bypass SIM lock and then once the SIM card is inserted I get only GSM and no data.
If you use *#*#4636#*#* in the Dialer and go to Phone Information do you notice that it always switches to WCDMA preferred? I change to GSM/CDMA auto PRL like all my other Android devices (on Rogers Wireless) and it disconnects, reconnects but only for GSM and no data. It sometimes says it's connected to EDGE or HSPA but no icon at the top right and then it reverts back to GSM.
I have also tried flashing virtually every firmware, ensuring that the radio and RILs match (I had an HTC Desire Z so the HTC phones are not new to me entirely). I don't know what else to do. I tried a Bell SIM card and tried all of the same options to no avail.
I really hope someone can figure this out. I don't want to have destroyed a phone that I just bought for my wife. Her Atrix broke and I purchased that outright as well, so this is really killing my wallet. I've been through about 10 Android devices and I wouldn't say I'm a newb, but I really do feel like one right now. This sucks!

Get a new sim from tmo if it's over 2 phones old.

Exactly. Although I got it before I saw your post, you were completely correct.

definitely try a new sim card.

I've tried 5 different SIMs now. It's not a SIM issue. The other poster has a different issue but mine's identical to the OP's.

Airplane mode is a feature of the phone and turns off all radios. You can hold the power button and choose airplane mode or use the quick toggle in the notification window. Since it sounds like you may be in an area with weak 4G, you can also use an app called Phone Info to set it to CDMA auto (PRL) under Device Information. You can also change it back to LTE/CDMA/EvDO if you want it to switch as normal.

With the Verizon S3, is there the need to do *228 (or *22899) ? I did this every so often on my old HTC Incredible.

Doesn't work on LTE devices. A reboot essentially does the same thing. Some have recommended pulling the battery with the phone on, removing the sim card for about 30sec and then putting everything back in.

Thanks, I know what airplane mode is, wasn't sure where the APN setting was. I will look in to phone info though.

Are you guys also experiencing the "No Sim Card" and "No Network Connection" issues?
Or is this an entirely different issue?

When this phone goes to 3g, it does seem extra bad on how long it takes to switch back to 4g. i have areas where i live where it goes to 3g when going in between hill (less than a 50 foot stretch) and it will not go back to 4g for over 10 minutes if i dont manually do it. Not to mention my LTE never goes above 10 mbps on the best days

Somewhat related...If you use Anycut to create a shortcut to IOTHiddenMenu, enter the ##DATA# Menu, edit. Under "Advanced", there is an LTE toggle, under "Other" > "HDR/1X" you can set the phone mode, and then under "Other" > "LTE APN Settings" you can somewhat modify the APN settings, reset and discard. If it asks for a password, it's 000000.

I gave these a try. I'm trying to find a way for my phone to favor 4G when there's a 4G signal, no matter how weak.
Yesterday I did a test, 3G with 3 bars vs 4G with 0 to 1 and 4G had consistently faster download speeds and shorter ping times. The upload varied from similar to 3G to slower.

probably easier said than done. The phone info app can force LTE but you lose voice and text.

Ya I found that out yesterday when testing speeds. I went to send a text then make a call and no luck
Otherwise 4G service where I live could be excellent at one spot then a mile away no service. If I had excellent 4G consistently I'd consider GoSMS which I believe has the option for data text and also a separate VoIP app
Ah well hopefully something will be figured out eventually. With a strong 4G signal 4G is considerably faster and more consistent than my 20mbps home broadband

I've had similar issues with my network. I had no 4G in 4G areas, but mainly my wifi would disconnect randomly and 3G also dropped to 1X a lot. I ended up having to send it back and get another one. So far no issues. Also the new ones have an "Updated" sticker on them. I think it was just a software update they applied, but I never got the OTA on my old phone.

Your new phone came with an already updated firmware version I535VRALG1 instead of the original version I535VRALF2.

Not sure if anyone will have the same luck I have with the "Phone Info" app, but with it I was able to get my 4g service back and my phone is functioning normally again. Just open the app, select Device Information and scroll down to "Set preferred network type" and select "LTE/CDMA/EvDo" then get out of the app.. 4g should return shortly there after. When I looked at it, my device was set to "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)"

Ok I got one,
My microphone is broken (everyone says I sound like I'm in a tunnel) I don't have the $ or time to fix the microphone, so I've been using my headset. My head set has a sucky midrange, where everything sounds muddy. I need to amplify the high end and reduce the mid range on my calls. I know the Galaxy SIII has an In-Call EQ, is there an EQ I can use to fix this situation on my phone or is there any kind of hack I can use?

I saw other screenshots of people's speed test with the Blaze & theirs seemed way higher than mine. Anyone know a way I can improve my speeds? Running Provision ROM V3.1

It's all location dependent. But some have seen higher speeds with the T989 uvmc6 radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400 Try a few out and see what happens, note what radio you have now so you can go back if you want.
But in the end most of it is just how loaded the towers are in your area (at least with the blaze's hspa42), and what server speedtest is connecting to. But your speeds are pretty average and not that bad. I normally get 6-8mbps down, 2mbps up, 60ms ping.

Here's my question What ROM are you running?

My husband has the samsung galaxy s blaze 4G; love the phone, but is having a recurring issue. The last 2 micro sd cards he's had in it have suddenly been wiped and lost everything that was on them while mounted in the phone. No warning, just everything's gone. I haven't tried a hard reset yet. When it happened with the first card, I unmounted it and tried reading it on the pc, but it was blank, then the pc wouldn't even recognize it.
Any suggestions?

Is it possible to change the path to which the phone saves apps when you chose to move them to the SD card? When I do this on my phone it just moves them to the "internal" storage space and not onto my 32GB microSD card.
EDIT: Nevermind, just being dumb and lazy this evening. I've found the info in another thread...

Should I Unlock?
Let me start off my saying that I am just your average housewife with a cell phone problem. I am hoping to get some honest advice about unlocking my phone.
Obviously, I have a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze. I bought it used from a private party and intended to use my Walmart Family Mobile sim with it, but it would never recognize my sim card. A couple of months worth of troubleshooting went by and the whole time I assumed the problem lied with my service plan and sim card. I finally took it to a T-mobile store, surely they would have some magic settings or a quick fix, right? Wrong! They informed me that the phone was network locked because someone reported it stolen and there was nothing they could do for me.
My service plan is 'powered by T-mobile'. Will unlocking the phone enable me to use it on the T-mobile network again?
The phone is in perfect condition. There has got to be some way to still make it usable. Any advice you have to offer would be so helpful.
Note: T-mobile 4g Sim = no indication or recognition of the sim
Walmart Family Mobile 3g Sim = message basically stating that I need to upgrade my sim
Any ATT Sim (not prepaid) = a screen pops up requesting an unlock code

If the phone is reported stolen, you will not be able to use it with t-mobile. Unlocking it should make it work with ATT. Data may be limited to edge speeds on ATT

Have you rooted the phone yet? Do you have a custom ROM installed? If you do it could be a matter of just setting the correct APN settings under the network settings. I could be wrong though. But its worth trying. Look up the Walmart mobile APN settings and see if that will work. That would be the first thing I would try. If you don't know how to change the APN a simple Google search will find what your looking for. Hope this helps.

1. My phone is not rooted. Not too sure what rooting is, but I think its like jailbreaking?
2. I probably do not have a custom ROM (googling that right now)
3. I know all about APN settings. I have many different APN's for T-mobile. Yes, I have Walmart's, as well.
I am very familiar with how to add them to the phone.
4. I also upgraded to 4.0.4 ICS (not sure if that's important)

[Q] LTE problems?

Been on the iPhone for close to a year. I'm tagging out! Coming back to android and the ultra or maxx has been the device I've set as my decision. However I'm a tmobile user. Maxx has the battery life I need so I want to clarify before I pick one up what any glitches of the device may be on the network. I've been reading with the kitkat update there is some sort of issue with the enabled lte and not being able to utilize SMS/phone at the same time as lte data? Is this true? If so any possible way to remain on H+ without activating lte or inputting apn settings? Or has this been rectified? Lol.....rectified.
Any input anyone has is appreciated. And yes I know. I should get verizon. I've been with tmobile for 12 years. I just can't beat their price right now and I live in an lte city. When I go out in the county it's a different story. But one day I'll jump ship. Maybe intervention is required. But right now I wanna stay with the T.

"LTE Thunderbolt" on the play store will be your best friend while on T-mobile
Works wonders with moto devices, you can choose which exact signal the phone should look for (LTE included)
Great phone period. On vodafone with it right now, used that app to ONLY look for HSPA+ and everything is golden Lemme know if you have any other questions, but that app should fix ya up

Awesome thanks bud. I was a but concerned about that whole hiccup and was making me second guess getting it, but the phone seems to be the best choice for me out of any available android phone. Hopefully this will get worked out. Do you find it a little inconvenient to switch signals or do you just stick with the hspa signal permanently?

You can switch the phone into gsm only using phone info. If lte is disabled you'll be fine on KK until they fix it. LTE/GSM works fine on 4.2. I'll link a copy of phone info to make the change. Please don't modify other settings as you can potentially permanently damage the radio. You'll get HSPA+ in refarmed areas. EDGE everywhere else.

Thanks for this! Are the odds pretty good that this will be taken care of in a future update? I feel like I don't expect it since it's not a verizon critical issue. Would this be taken care of in a future KK update or firmware? Thanks for your help so far everyone

I had talked to a contact of mine at Motorola and they were unaware of the issue til I brought it to him. It's on the list of things to fix.

You're doin it wrong GSM only disables the LTE radio.

If I'm understanding arcanexvi's post correctly it instructs to switch to "gsm only" and not "gsm auto", though it's circled in the illustration. Hard for me to speculate though until I have the phone in hand.

Lol you beat me to it. I can see the confusion though since gsm auto is circled in the photo. It's like sitting in the drivers seat getting directions from the passenger and they say left and point to the right lol. I'll let ya know how it goes when I get the phone. Thanks bud.

If the phone realizes you're not in the mode selected on the mobile network page it'll revert. I have it noted in the thread I created regarding this issue.

Ugh USPS apparently left the signature slip on top of my note in the mailbox with a signature date and note to leave the package with office staff
That's just cruel
-bang head on wall-

Got it working off the bat with your instructions from the other thread perfectly bud. Thanks! How long do you think it will be before this gets tweaked and released?

Cannot get LTE on my AT&T LG G2 only 4G

I'm running 4.4.2 on my LG G2 for AT&T
My wife just got the same phone and her phone shows 4G/LTE Mine shows only 4G
I checked our APN settings for both and they're the same
I checked through the 4636 code through the phone and it shows only the HSPA letters where hers shows up once again with LTE
ANY advice would be great

Try turning data off then on again, it will force it to search for the network.

i tried that one...and i tried the 4646 code and theres no option to change the NETWORK type...this friggin sux...no LTE on this phone and only "4G"...been tryng to figure this one out..
any advice much appreciated.

Maybe replace it?
If this is a new phone that you haven't tampered with, I suggest that you exchange it. New phones don't need any change in settings to connect to LTE out of the box.
Maybe it's a hardware problem. Did this problem just appear out of nowhere? (maybe after the update)?

Like the poster above if its stock return it otherwise reflash to stock to confirm the issue is still there, here's another thread dealing with the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702386

you might be 'ROAMING'
this happens to me. i think theres no att tower near me, i think they use someone elses lte tower, but half of the android phones ive used need roaming enabled to connect to lte in my area. try that it might work.. its in the normal settings app under networks enable all roaming. never had any extra charges. att covers the nation and doesnt count local roaming.
BUT i agree with this guy if my suggestion doesnt work
